THE latest high-fashion rumour getting everyone hot under the collar in Paris? ThatGiles Deacon may be just the man Diego Della Valle has been seeking to resurrect the house of Elsa Schiaparelli. The Italian business mogul - who also owns Tod's - bought the rights to the name earlier this year and has been on the hunt for a designer to bring the influential house back to its former glory since; talks with Roland Mouret have reportedly fallen through and Della Valle has approached Deacon to discuss the position, WWD has revealed. The idea of a deal has weight; the Giles spring/summer 2008 show during London Fashion Week was permeated by a surrealist, wood-nymph theme not a million miles removed from the look championed by Schiaparelli in the Thirties, notoriously influenced by her peers, Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau. Watch this space. (October 4 2007, AM)
